Did TikTok superstar Alix Earle having a falling out with pal Topher Griffin? Here's what we think transpired between the influencer pair.
TikTok star and University of Miami senior Alix Earle is one of the most popular creators at the platform. The "GRWM" queen has a cult-like following and never fails to go away the house looking not anything less however flawless.
In early 2023, Alix began posting TikToks with one of her friends from faculty, junior Topher Griffin (@tophgriff). Clearly, those two were tight — she even created a section dubbed “Tea Time with Topher" with him. It wasn't too long before Alix's fans quickly hit the follow button on Topher's page.

Alix Earle and Topher allegedly had a friend breakup during the Tarte influencer trip.
As TikTok creator @pamelawurstvetrini infers below, things are believed to have gone awry during the latest Tarte influencer trip to Turks and Caicos.
You see, this was a super exclusive trip. And Alix, being the good friend she is, picked Topher as her plus-one on the trip. He seemed super excited. But weirdly enough, we didn't see too many photos of them together.
"Here's the problem with picking Topher as your plus one," @pamelawurstvetrini said in her video. "He does not have plus one power. He has major persona energy."
Basically, the two are believed to have gotten into some kind of riff. What exactly happened is unknown but they went in as besties and left — after days of endless alcohol and partying — seeming very distant.

So, that's what we know so far. And already it seems like Alix's fans have turned their backs on Topher. But as creator @alyssadiamonds said in her TikTok below, we shouldn't start making up our own narratives on what happened. "You all made up our minds from gazing a few 15/30 2d videos that you don't like him anymore whilst you were hyping him up like 30 seconds in the past," she said.

Ultimately, she called different customers out for making fan edits to videos of Topher and attacking him at the platform.
